Direct donations help support Amy Lee’s Out of the Shadows fund through the Epilepsy Foundation.

Supporting the Epilepsy Foundation
The Epilepsy Foundation works to ensure that people with seizures are able to participate in all life experiences, and one of the ways it hopes to achieve that mission is through research.

Severe seizures that resist treatment, especially the severe seizures of early childhood, are associated with a shortened life span, risk of intellectual impairment and a sharply reduced quality of life. Despite dramatic scientific advances, there are many unanswered questions about why seizures begin, why trauma produces seizures years after the event, how genetic factors influence seizures, how epilepsy affects women’s reproductive health, and what factors make brain cells susceptible to seizures.

Only research – basic as well as clinical – will provide answers to these questions and lead eventually to the cure.

Your generosity...

• improves quality of life for people with epilepsy – children, teens and adults who can’t enjoy what most of us take for granted;
• educates the public to eliminate misunderstanding, judgment and rejection, and helps people with epilepsy and their loved ones cope with its challenges;
• empowers advocacy for affordable health care and protection of civil rights for people with epilepsy; and
• funds medical and scientific research towards prevention and a cure.

With your help, the Out of the Shadows campaign can have far-reaching results for people with epilepsy in the United States and around the world. I am proud to lend my voice and support to the Epilepsy Foundation and to this campaign, and I know you will be, too.

Please contribute to epilepsy awareness and research efforts by buying exclusive Out of the Shadows merchandise or making a monetary donation.

Your generosity will help change the world for my little brother and all the little brothers and little sisters with epilepsy. Thank you so much.
